Spatial transcriptomics provides a unique opportunity to study continuous biological processes in a spatial context. We developed Paella, a computational method to decompose a cell trajectory into multiple spatial sub-trajectories and identify genes with differential temporal patterns across spatial sub-trajectories. Applied to spatial transcriptomics datasets of cancer, Paella identified spatially varying genes associated with tumor progression, providing insights into the spatial heterogeneity of cancer development.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
